The distributive property is basically expanding brackets.

So if you take 3(x + 4) = 36 and remove the brackets (so multiplying out the 3), you get:

3x + 12 = 36

And from there you simplify :)

3x + 12 = 36

3x = 24

x = 8

The distributive property was used to multiply the 3 through the brackets, thus making the equation easier to solve I guess

13x^-5 y^0/5^-3 z^-10

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$\frac{1625z^{10}}{x^{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:

$\frac{13x^{-5}y^0}{5^{-3}z^{-10}}$

We rewrite as positive index to get:

$\frac{13y^05^{3}z^{10}}{x^{5}}$

This simplifies to

$\frac{13*1*125z^{10}}{x^{5}}$

This will finally give us:

$\frac{1625z^{10}}{x^{5}}$

We cannot simplify further.

Hence the simplest form is $\frac{1625z^{10}}{x^{5}}$

The pair of points (g, -1) and (2, 5) lie on a line with a slope of 3/2. What is the value of g?

Sliva [168]

Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{g = - 2}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find g we have to use the formula for finding the slope of the line passing through two points that's

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_ 1}{x_2 -x_1 } \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are (g, -1) and (2, 5) and m = 3/2

We substitute it into the equation and find g

That's

$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{5 - - 1}{2 - g} \\ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{5 + 1}{2 - g } \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \frac{3}{2} = \frac{6}{2 - g} \\ \\ 3(2 - g) = 6(2) \\ 6 - 3g = 12 \\ - 3g = 12 - 6 \\ - 3g = 6 \\ \\ \frac{ - 3g}{ - 3} = \frac{6}{ - 3} \\ \\ g = - 2$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
